More info to complete my report -- at boot and at shutdown I get a Starting/Stopping Mysql server...... failed. (According to /var/log/boot the server is not started.) -- BUT ps gives a running server (sorry I did not check that before) -- the missing file /usr/bin/mysqladmin (see error below) pertains to mysql- client-5., which is not automatically installed (what installed the /etc/init.d/mysql?).
